INCORRIGIBLE CRIMTNALs.

No part of Governor Lounsburys first mes
sage has been more sharply and generally
criticised than that in which he discussed
prisons and crime. He said some things
which caused a misapprehension of his rea
meaning, though he was clear enough in the
following sentence: 'sSome future legislature
will wisely take long step beyond this, and
will fix the life sentence as the penalty for
every crime the commission of which shall
show that the man is already confirmed
criminal" So much has his meaning been
misunderstood that he has thought best to
explain what he intended to say as follows;
Of course do not favor the permanent i'm
prisonment of all criminals for life regardless
of degrees of crime. There are distinctions,
and the law properly recognizes them.
What 1 approve is the Ohio law, that is, that
where a criminal has for the third time COM
mitted a felony, having already served out
two sentences, he should thereafter be re-
strained of his liberty. He should be treat
ed precisely as confirmed lunatic is treated
to permanent confinement. I would make
no interference with the statutes as far as
gradations of crime and the limitations of
punishment are concerned. There must be
distinctive recognition of grades and degrees
of crime. 1t is only to the incorrigible class
of criminals who have passed the limit of
reformatory influences that would have the
utmost severity of the law apply. These
criminal incurables should be shut up for
life as safe protection to the good order of
society.
This is plain enough, and though there are
many who think that few criminals are in
corrigible, there are also many, and among
them those who know great deal about
criminals, who will think that the Governor
has the right idea. It is certain that our
prisons, as at present conducted, do not re-
form many. Some significant facts bearing
on this matter are furnished by the annual
report of the warden of the Joliet Qllinois)
penitentiary, which shows that of the con-
victs now confined there 204 are serving their
second term, 48 their third, 10 their fourth,
9 their fifth, and their sixth. Many of
these have served one or more terms in other
prisons. This indicates that the majority of
the men and women confined in prisons are
habitual criminals who are not reformed by
punishment, but who on release Immediately
resume the habits of life which soon lead
them again into crime and back to prison.
Most people will agree that criminal who
is incorrigib,e might as well be put where he
can do little harm. The difficulty is to draw
the line. Perhaps, as the Governor thinks,
the Ohio law is fair and that . third convic-
tion of felony is enough to stamp person as
an incorri ib1a criminal TT ia perhaDa worth
remarking that three probations are one
more than even liberal Christians allow their
fellow sinners in these days.

Here is chance fer somebody. The Bel

be awarded in 1889, to the author of the best
work on the progress of electricity in its uses
as motor and for lighting purposes, with
all applications that can be made of it for
such purposes and the economy and advan-

open to all nationalities and the manuscript
may be written in English, French, Flemish,

historical matter collected by these societies
is we'll worth spreading.
In order to counteract the growing aridity
of the stepps region between the Caspian
and Aral seas, the Russian scientist Venu-
koff proposes that the waters of the Don be
diverted into the Volga, or, better still, that
q canal be dug connecting the Black sea with
the Caspian, so as to cause the latter to ex-
pand over larger bed instead of shrinking,
as it does now. The progress of irrigation
going on in the Russian dominions of Central
Asia is contributing to the shrinkage not
only of the Caspian, but also of the Sea OF
Aral and Lake Hamun. The Don was in
former ages a tributary of the Volga, and the
piercing of the strip of land between Kalatch
on the Don and Sarepta or the Volga would
offer but slight difficulties, the distance be-
ing only sixty kilometres.

in tine morning which she teaches her pupils
in the afternoon. She says she is making

work to keep up with her pupils. Here is
the case of an incompetent teacher who
owes her success solely to her capacity
for business. People help her along be-
cause she is SO perseyering and so very
anxious to make a name for herself She
goes everywher, makes friends by the score,
is always ready to tender her services for
charitable entertainments, and keeps her
name constantly before the public She
